Abstract

A liquid slurry containing spherical abrading particles of polyhedral monocrystalline alumina is supplied onto the target surface of a magnetic hard disk substrate to be textured while a polishing tape is pressed onto the target surface and the disk substrate is concurrently rotated. Because the contacting surfaces of these particles are spherical and have no sharp edges, they do not scratch the target surface or create grooves which are undesirably too deep.
